Grammy Awards winner and popular singer, Ayo Balogun better known as Wizkid has joined Damini Ogulu a.k.a Burna Boy as the two Nigerians to achieve a feat once deemed impossible in music.
This is as he equalled Burna Boy’s record as the only Nigerian singer in history to sell out the iconic 20,000-capacity Accor Arena in Paris, France.
Burna Boy was the first Nigerian music act to sell out the venue in March during his Space Drift concert, however, his friend and colleague Wizkid has now replicated the feat, after selling out tickets for his Made In Lagos concert in Paris, as confirmed by Live Nation and Accor Arena.
